@SurprisedLemur I got Hourglass 60ml for 87$ plus 20% during the Rouge Sale, and today it is 99$ a tube, 12$ over from last night. I understand the CAD is so so low now but wow, 12$ overnight, I need to give me some break time, lol!

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

@cangirl84 wow that it quite the price jump! I casually watch the exchange rate and the CAD to USD exchange actually went from 1 USD=1.36 CAD to 1 USD =1.33 CAD, so I find the timing of this price hike quite odd. It's making some Canadian items more expensive than their US equivalents :/

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

Hello!

I had a question for those of you who have ordered from Colourpop before. I ordered stuff on May 22 and it shipped May 29th. They shipped out through RR Donnelly (never heard of them before 🙈). Problem is, I haven't received any updates on the tracking since the 31st. The last update was that it was shipped from California and that's been it. They gave a Canada Post tracking number, but Canada Post hasn't received the package yet. Does it normally take this long to get a package through this shipping service or am I just worried for nothing? Thanks!

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

@SpaceLlama I’ve ordered three times from CP in the last few months and, yes, each time the packages kinda disappeared from the radar for a few days, similar to what you’re describing.

However, I was able to begin tracking them again the day before delivery. Then, the day of delivery, they emailed to let me know they were going to arrive, and delivery went smoothly. Everything in both orders was perfect and well-packed 😊

Oh, and from start to finish it took about 10 days for my order to arrive (from the time I placed it) and there were no duties payable. Yay, CP!

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

I order from colourpop regularly, this seems pretty normal. Since december they've been shipping with rr donnelley (I have no idea what this is either) and usually gets handed off to UPS but sometimes Canada Post. I usually don't get any tracking besides it leaving and the Canadian tracking code. I wouldn't worry since it just shipped about a week ago, I'm sure it will update soon.

There are also no duties or handling fees with colourpop anymore beause they charge taxes at checkout now. @SpaceLlama

Saw Instagram ad for the new shoppers drug mart quasi medi-spa store, “the beauty clinic”. First one opening in a few days at shops at don mills in Toronto (I believe this was the place with the first Murale store back in the day). Depending on what they offer and if we can earn/use points, I could be into this.

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

@GG84 Thanks for the correction. I never go to Oakville so wouldn’t have known. Even don mills is a stretch for me. The ad definitely implied it’s the first one but maybe I misread and they meant in Toronto.

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

Has anyone had a good experience ordering from saks online? I'm feeling very frustrated with them, the first time I ordered I had an item arrive broken. Instead of re-shipping it they were only able to give me a refund... which would have been fine if they didn't have a $100 minimum for free shipping. Through that seems to be a ruse because I just tried to make a $106 order and shipping isn't coming off 🙄

Re: The Canadian Peeps! Deals, News, Events & Whatever!!!

@pickles48 Very generally speaking I haven’t had great experiences with Saks. These days I find the majority of the things I’d want to buy from them are marked ‘cannot ship to Canada’ and in the past I’ve found their website incredibly glitchy and hard to order from. Plus in the past I found them incredibly wasteful; shipping a 3 or 4 item order in 3 or 4 separate boxes. Plus when I’ve bought non-cosmetics items like clothing it’s been a real hassle trying to do a return through Borderfree because their CS doesn’t understand the outside of US process.
